From Cisco to Block, more companies are pointing to AI when unveiling job cuts
Summary
Tech and non-tech companies are increasingly citing artificial intelligence as a driver when announcing layoffs or operational streamlining. Major firms mentioned include Cisco (about 4,000 job cuts), Block (over 4,000), Pinterest, Dow and Lufthansa, while Meta, Microsoft and Amazon are also cutting roles as they ramp AI spending. Companies often frame reductions as part of resource reallocation to AI and automation, but they frequently pair that messaging with broader restructuring or macroeconomic reasons. The coverage highlights worker anxiety about AI's impact on jobs and notes uncertainty over whether AI will create enough new roles to offset cuts.
